ENGL 681 Research Skills: Translation & Culture

Dr. Malcolm Hayward

This is a week-long course in a workshop environment. Each day includes brief lectures, group discussions, and practical, interactive exercises.

Our topics:

• Translation theory and practice past and present
• Cultural issues in translation
• Practical approaches to literary translation
• Teaching translated works in the literature class
• Translation and the ESL student
• Issues in teaching literary translation
• Translation theory and other literary and linguistic theories
• How to design and follow through with a translation project
• You do not need expertise in a second language. Many of our exercises will pair native and non-native speakers. You’ll find how translation can be a window looking into other cultures or a mirror for looking at your own culture.
